To all tub/omit may concern:

Be it known that I, Enwm J Scnonrmn, a citizen of the United States, residing [in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have indented 5v which the following is a specification.

certain Improvements in Display-Boxes, of

is closed the open portions are brought face to face and protected. The openings in the box' can be of any shape desired, and abox of this type is usually provided with detachable drawers which contain the goods to be displayed, although in some instances the drawers may be omitted and the ends-of the box closed by any suitable device.

, In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a perspective view cf'my improved disp aybox open; Fig..2,,is a perspective view showing the display box closed; Fig. 3, is an end view of the box mam open position;-

Fig. 4, is an end view showing the method of making the box, and Fig. 5, 1s a view of a 'modificatmn, in which two narrowsections are hinged to'a wide section. v

' Display boxes of this type hav'eto be made-- economically; as they are a cheap article ofmanufacture and the hinge connecting the v sections of the box need not ,besubstanti al, 35

.as the box is only used'for a comparatively short 'time' to display goods contained therein. a

' By my invention I make the box out of a single sheet of card board or .hea paper and score the material at the point w ere-the. two portions of the box are connected, sothat the box can be readily opened or closed Referring to the drawingsyA, A ai'e f- 4'5 two sections of the box; hinged ont he-line c.

The top surface of slightly scored to form the hinge joint, and as both sections are on the same plane the form or num r desired. When the box is" folded, as in Fig.- 2, the two surfaces assume a position face to face and a close fit is p assured. Thus it will be seen by thev above construction that I can cheaply and quickly manufacture folding display boxes of this.
